The SGT-800 gas turbine supplied by Siemens for the GCL Smart Energy Kunshan Blue Sky Gas Distributed Energy Project (GCL Kunshan Blue Sky Project) successfully passed the 96-hour full load test run. This is the first SGT-800 gas turbine project that Siemens has put into commercial operation in China.
The SGT-800 gas turbine supplied by Siemens for the GCL Smart Energy Kunshan Blue Sky Gas Distributed Energy Project (GCL Kunshan Blue Sky Project) successfully passed the 96-hour full load test run. This is the first SGT-800 gas turbine project that Siemens has put into commercial operation in China.
GCL Kunshan Blue Sky Project is located in the national high-tech Industrial Development Zone of Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, and is the first regional natural gas distributed energy project in Jiangsu Province. Siemens and Hangzhou Steam Turbine Co., LTD. (Hangzhou Steam Turbine) jointly built two sets of gas-steam combined cycle cold, hot and electric triple supply units. Among them, Siemens provided two SGT-800 gas turbines, and Hangzhou Steam turbine provided steam turbine generator sets and other auxiliary equipment. When put into operation, the project is expected to have an annual power generation capacity of 770 million KWH, an annual cooling and heating capacity of 2.5 million gigajoules, and a fuel utilization rate of more than 80%. In addition, the project can not only provide clean electricity for the grid, provide industrial steam load for enterprises, but also provide air conditioning load for the surrounding public and commercial places and residents, creating a green, low-carbon sustainable development city.
Wang Shihong, Executive President of GCL Smart Energy, said: "GCL Smart Energy is one of the earliest investors in gas turbine distributed energy projects in China, and the installed capacity of gas turbine currently ranks among the top in China. We are very pleased to be able to join forces with Siemens and Hangzhou Steam Turbine to leverage their respective strengths and conduct a series of fruitful cooperation based on the Kunshan Blue Sky Project." All indicators of the project have reached the national ultra-low emission standards, making new contributions to the local development of green economy."
"We are very pleased to be working with Hangzhou Steam to provide GCL with leading distributed energy solutions." "As a trusted partner, Siemens will continue to provide practical support for China's distributed energy development goals with its advanced solutions, products and extensive application experience in the global distributed energy sector," said Yao Zhenguo, Executive vice president and general manager of the Power Generation and Gas Group of Siemens China.
Mr. Ye Zhong, General Manager of Hangzhou Steam Turbine Co., LTD., said: "Hangzhou Steam Turbine and Siemens have maintained a close and long-term cooperation in the field of steam turbines and distributed energy. We believe that with our leading technology and rich manufacturing experience in the field of gas-steam combined cycle applications, we will continue to deepen the natural gas distributed energy market while ensuring the smooth operation of existing projects."
In 2017, the "Opinions on Accelerating the Use of Natural Gas" jointly issued by 13 ministries and commissions clearly pointed out that the implementation of natural gas power generation projects should vigorously develop natural gas distributed energy and promote natural gas distributed energy demonstration projects. In 2016, Siemens and Hangzhou Steam Turbine carried out in-depth cooperation in the field of gas distributed power generation, and successively provided leading gas-steam combined cycle equipment and solutions for several projects, including GCL Kunshan Blue Sky Project, China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park and Chengdu High-tech Industrial Development Zone West Park.
